The Quran mentions 25 prophets by name, though it indicates that Allah sent many more messengers throughout history to guide different nations and peoples.
These stories provide practical examples of how to live according to Allah's guidance, face challenges with faith, and maintain righteousness even in difficult circumstances.
All messengers are prophets, but not all prophets are messengers. Messengers brought new scriptures or major changes to existing laws, while prophets reinforced existing guidance.
